Marie Osmond Concert

Katy, 8 or 9 years old, about 1988

Mom surprised me with tickets to see Marie Osmond in concert at the Allen County Fair. I was so pumped. Marie was a Mormon celebrity, and I get to spend time with Mom without anyone else. I remember dancing in the grandstand and getting treats from the vendors.

At the end of the concert we bought some of Marie’s country music. We played the cassette until the tape was too worn out to make the right noises. I could probably still sing along with those songs if I heard them today.
